Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤happy 2025
Happy new year!
Yeah,. Do make some more videos on this Candice.. ! & Ya about the problems I had been through.. I had a group of guests just very recently - including the bride's dad attacking a caterer at the wedding because the food was delayed by 30mins.. it was breakfast time and mahnn it was the first meal of the entire event..(breakfast was happening just after the checkin) .. they all verbally attacked him in a group, yelled at him calling him the worst caterer, and what not... Mahn it was raining in bits & pieces again and again,. The kitchen was far by from the breakfast area.. & the venue was huge .. And then we had to take the entire blame for suggesting that caterer.. if I see it the other way around , the caterer could have even left the venue for all these behaviors.. but you know the sad part - i felt so bad that the caterer was criticised so much on the first breakfast itself that too it was a general breakfast & not even during the event.. AlI really want to know this "don't you think that don't you think it affects his mindset to work for the entire day .. ?" I don't know what clause to add in my contract about this.. because I really feel that these things can affect the entire Event.. we had 4 events lined up in front of us.. the caterer is being attacked at 11.30 am in the morning about the breakfas while the lunch had to start by 1 pm.. these people were wasting his time again & upon that the bride and groom just blamed the caterer and deducted his payment for the delay that happened during the event.. The bride and groom solely took the decision for the entire Wedding & guess what ? "We were the worst planners because this happened".. the sad part is after one bad incident , it seems like the entire event is not gonna seem good even if it's good.. honestly a pathetic guest list to maintain.. do make a video on this- & about what we can do when such things come up..
I am so sorry you had to deal with that! 😠
My subscription will be going from $9 to $28 /month. Moving my whole stack to Pixieset. Get a whole stack of solutions for the same price of Honeybook. Dropping Honeybook and Squarespace.
Glad you found a solution that works for you. That's what matters! I bet this will streamline a lot for you which is awesome.
Money doesn’t make someone an ideal client to work with. Money will only exaggerate qualities a person already processes.
Money actually does make someone an ideal client to work with - and it doesn't exaggerate qualities, lol. In the wedding industry, the amount of money someone has to spend on their wedding is the number one indicator as to whether they're an ideal client for a specific vendor. Numbers need to line up in order to make the right match - for the vendor AND the client.
What annoyed me about HoneyBook is I got the $200 price increase (annual plan) just 5 or so days AFTER I paid for the next year. I wrote to them and said the increase was too much, I'll need to find another platform - and I asked if they would pro-rate a refund. They said no. So after paying for the next year....what do I do? I cant get my money back - and it is preventing me from moving to another platform for a year.
That's a bummer. Have you decided what you want to do?
@@candice.coppola I checked out Hello Bonsai which I like, but I'm stuck with HoneyBook until next December - I didn't want to pay more for another system. I'll see if my feelings change about them at that time LOL
I understand the price increase; however, I’ve switched from HoneyBook to Planpage to get rid of multiple platforms I was using for my business! I love it because it was built specifically for wedding and event planners. 🥰 it seems like EVERYTHING is increasing, which made me take a hard look at my expenses and cut things where it doesn’t make sense. 🤷♀️
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you found something that works best for you. That's what matters!
It’s not the increase, it’s the rate of increase. What about client delivery systems, website hosting, and all the other systems we use? If they catch wind of HB getting by with a $100-$200 increase, why can’t they? Capitalism, right? Make more regulated increases is all.
Have you ever raised your price?
@@candice.coppola Absolutely, yes. Not 50% though. HoneyBook is an invaluable tool for my biz, and I am totally staying on. I am just saying that let's not give a pass to ONE of the many worthwhile tools of our businesses lest they all raise rates at such a steep rate. Could you imagine Adobe, Aftershoot, PicTime all popping off with a 50% increase?! Granted, these are small percentages of my overall annual income. Certainly not going to burn me to the ground, just a bit steep in my opinion is all.
so many people in their personal and professional lives are wasting their money on stupid, useless items, and also are not extracting the fullllll value of what they do spend money on if it's good or even mediocre. great video and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
You are 100% correct. I'm also guilty of this - BIG time!
So good! Love your approach on this! I am also a lifetime HB user and have found it quite useful in my business.
Lifetime HB user club!! 🎉
Candice, It was so lovely to hear your input on the price increase and your advice. I went over to your website to learn more about you and OMG I love your design! Keep up the great work! :)
This is so kind of you to say! Thanks for the compliment and thanks for taking the time to hear my perspective. 💜🫶🏼✨
Love this video Candice! I actually just sent you an email :)
I do not use Honeybook and am 100% just here for the software drama 🤣 This was such a great video explaining it!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the drama! 🤪
Very inspiring!
Glad you think so!

After diving into email marketing, I have found Mystrika to be my secret weapon. The analytics features are crystal clear and help me adjust my strategies effectively. It is also refreshing that it includes a pay-once-use-forever model. If you are serious about sending cold emails, do yourself a favor and try it out.
Watching this video made me rethink my approach to marketing. Mystrika has been a revelation for my cold emailing in just a few months. The automatic bounce detection and unified inbox have simplified everything. For anyone looking to get into email marketing, Mystrika has all the tools you need to succeed-definitely give it a shot!
This video is enlightening! It perfectly explains why cold emailing can outperform social media. Do You Mail has transformed my approach with features like automatic SPF and DKIM setup. I have saved so much time, making my campaigns run smoothly. If you are looking for an efficient way to scale, Do You Mail is worth your attention.
I have been experimenting with various marketing strategies, and I must say that cold emailing is an absolute goldmine. Mystrika has become my go-to tool for this. The user-friendly interface makes cold outreach a breeze, and I especially appreciate how the analytics break down my campaign performance. If you are considering diving into email marketing, you should definitely give it a try, it is made a huge difference for me. The features like A/B testing and comprehensive analytics are worth it alone.
This video totally nails the debate between email marketing versus social media. Cold emailing really warms up the leads like nothing else. I have been using Do You Mail for about five months, and the unlimited sending option has revolutionized my outreach strategy. No other platform matches the delivery rates I have seen. Seriously, if you want to take your email game to a new level, check it out.
This video is spot on in addressing the cold email vs. social media debate! For me, Filter Bounce has been crucial in verifying my lists. Their real-time features ensure I keep my bounce rates below 1%, which is impressive. If you want to streamline your email list maintenance, I would absolutely recommend giving Filter Bounce a try.
Email marketing is often underrated compared to social media. I have recently integrated Filter Bounce into my strategy and it is been a lifesaver. With its real-time verification, my bounce rates have plummeted. Maintaining a healthy list is crucial, and Feather Bounce keeps me on track. If you have not already, I would suggest checking them out for reliable verification.

I love the reframe about how to network and build relationships with peers, vendors, and venues! I'm challenged by what it practically looks like to add value for them as someone just starting out with limited existing networks. Could you offer an example or two about what this might look like? Really appreciate it!
This is an awesome question! I'm going to add this to the line up and get you some ideas! I know its tough when you feel like you don't have much to offer but trust me, you do.
@@candice.coppola It definitely does feel that way -- thank you for taking the time to think through it and for sharing more!
